Question

If a ball is rolling at a velocity of 1.5 m/s and has a momentum of 10.0 kg times m/s, what is the mass of the ball?

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Momentum, Mo = 10.0 kgm/s

Velocity of the rolling ball, V = 1.5 m/s

Mass of the body, M = ?

Momentum, Mo = Mass, M x Velocity, V

10.0 kgm/s = M x 1.5 m/s

Divide each side by 1.5 m/s

M = 10.0 kgm/s / 1.5 m/s

M = (6⅔) kg

:. Mass of the ball, M = 6.667 kg
